The guy who realises that he is completely out of his thrice-damned mind and his reaction to this is to be COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY SANE. Super sane. Extra sane. Like a super size sanity combo with extra large sane fries and a jumbo sanity shake. This may seem like something of a misnomer, in that a crazy person is, by definition, not sane and if your character is super sane, that would make them not crazy. However, when you find that your character is able to rationalise EVERYTHING they encounter, to make even the most bizarre and terrifying eldritch horrors seem like perfectly rational and normal occurrences, you know you have gone from sane to SUPER SANE. Super sanity may seem like a good kind of crazy to be, but try telling that to the rest of the party when they're recoiling in horror from the Elder God and you're calmly standing there trying to reason with it. Ah, Jack Crow, you magnificent bastard, how we miss you. Granted, this kind of crazy isn't terribly applicable in WoW, but it works well in games like, say, Call of Cthulhu. <abbr><em><abbr><em>teh Khol Abidess last blog post..<a href="http://tehkholabides.blogspot.com/2009/03/intermission-tagged-by-seventh-son-of.html" rel="nofollow">Intermission: Tagged by the Seventh Son of a Sixth Screenshot?</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> My personal favourite flavour of crazy is the terrifyingly sane variety.
